Police say a man was shot Saturday night in East Oak Cliff after a heated dispute between two drivers.

Luis Baez, 34, of Dallas, was driving when he got into an argument around 11:40 p.m. with two men in green SUV near Locust Avenue and Gladewater Road. Police say the man in the SUV’s passenger seat shot Baez and fled.

Baez flagged down a police officer in the 2600 block of E. Ledbetter Drive near Bonnie View Road. He was taken to Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas with serious injuries.

Original post on June 3: A man was shot to death after getting into an argument with three others at a South Dallas convenience store Monday night, police said.

Bobby Ervin, 20, was at the Little World Store on the 4600 block of Malcolm X Boulevard around 10:30 p.m. when he and three other men argued, police said. The altercation continued outside and one of the three unknown men shot Ervin.

Ervin ran a short distance before he collapsed, police said. The three other men fled the scene in a silver Pontiac. Officers responded to the scene and Ervin was transported to Baylor University Medical Center. He was pronounced deceased two hours after the incident began, police said.

Homicide detectives are following up on several leads to find out who the three suspects are, police said.

Dallas police are investigating a shooting early Wednesday that injured a man driving on the Dallas North Tollway.

Police responded about 2 a.m. when the man called 911 from the 4900 block of West Mockingbird Lane, just west of the tollway. The victim said he was shot in the stomach by a man in his 20s in a white Suburban while both were driving south on the tollway.

He was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, police said.

Media reports say the man believes he was shot in a road rage incident while driving along the tollway. Police continue to investigate.

Officers responded to a shopping center the 9700 block of Forest Lane shortly before midnight. Police said the boy had been hanging out with a group of other teens in the area. Witnesses said that a suspect in a car fired shots at the group and the victim, identified as Christopher Gordon, was struck in the head.

Gordon was a Berkner High School freshman football player — a wide receiver — last year, Richardson ISD spokesman Tim Clark said. Gordon was about to enter his sophomore year.

Clark said he has been in touch with Gordon’s football coach, who was in San Antonio on Tuesday. The coach told Clark that Gordon was a charismatic well-liked kid who didn’t get in trouble.

A group of teens gathered Tuesday in front of the cigar shop, about 20 yards away from where Gordon was gunned down in the parking lot. A makeshift memorial — candles, loose change, Carmex, stuffed animals, a cigarette and an apparent marijuana cigarette — was located near the pool of his blood was on the ground.

None said they knew Gordon well personally or saw the shooting happened, but said they rushed out from a nearby apartment complex Monday night to see Gordon lying on the ground, wounded.

One said Gordon was too young and hadn’t been on the street long enough to “get his hands dirty.”

Janice Minniefield, 50, who works at a store in the shopping center, said she didn’t see Gordon hanging around with the usual loiterers before.

She said she was in her apartment and dropped to the floor when she heard what she thought were about a dozen gunshots.

She said she doesn’t feel safe in the neighborhood, which is in the high-crime Forest-Audelia area, anymore.

“It’s not right,” she said. “People have to live here … All this is gang-related, and it needs to stop.”

Update at 12:49 p.m. July 18: Dallas police have identified both the suspect, 26-year-old Jesus Montuy, and the victim, Anthony Rivera.

According to police, the two were among several people in the apartment at the time of the shooting. Most of the occupants were elsewhere in the unit when Montuy, Rivera and another witness were left at a dining-room table. At some point, police say, a witness began “loading and unloading a revolver,” then placed it back on the table near Rivera. Shortly after that, police say, they all stood up to leave when the apartment’s occupants heard the revolver go off.

Police say it’s not clear if it was an intentional shooting, but Montuy has been charged with murder and is being held on a $200,000 bond in the Dallas County jail. He’s also being detained on an immigration hold, as police say he’s in the U.S. illegally.
